It's all come down to this! As their lives are literally tumbling down around them, the Titans must contend with the betrayal of their most troubled student-who has just unmasked themselves as Red X-plus a familiar face from deep in their darkest days, determined to exact an unholy vengeance upon Nightwing. In the end, after the epic collision of past, present, and future, who and what of Teen Titans Academy will still be standing?

    Sheridan crafts a dark narrative filled with both loss and revelation. Read Full Review

    Despite the diminished impact of the big reveal, this was still a shocking turning point in Sheridan's story. And it does end on a tentatively hopeful note for the Academy's future. Unfortunately, DC has announced the imminent cancellation of the title with issue #15. I hope this allows Sheridan to bring the story he's been building to a proper conclusion, or that he's allowed to finish it elsewhere. Read Full Review

    While this isn't necessarily one of the best Teen Titans Academy installments, it still showcases a lot of the strengths of the series. Read Full Review

    Teen Titans has been floundering for a long time, the Ben Percy run aside, and this series had a good central concept but lacked the execution to make it work. Read Full Review

    For anyone still reading this book, I have to assume that like me everyone will be disappointed with the reveal of Red X, especially since it just leads to another Red X mystery. The art in this issue was enjoyable though, but everything Titans related to this book is disappointing and at the end of the day I'm just waiting for the remaining issues to do something to avert the Future State status quo for two of our heroes in this book.

    Teen Titans Academy started off very promising, but the Red X mystery proved too insurmountable a problem to recapture the magic of the first half of the book. Read Full Review

    There was much I didn't like about this issue, and so many things just didn't make sense at all. I hope there would be a follow-up on several leads here (a Nightwing-Deathstroke encounter?), and that War on earth 3 would be better written.

    Slightly better then the last issue as this wasn't an incoherent mess. It was just a mess. So I guess it's got that going for it. The action was fine but oh boy the dialogue was just dumb. Starfires' speech was next level word salad. It is literally filled with hypocritical statements that make her sound just inept and banal.

    I enjoyed this title a few issues before, but honestly there is no defending this. Tim Sheridan has no idea what he is doing, and DC should give this title to someone else. Unfortunately, it is getting canceled in May.

    Que piada ruim. OBS: Kory sorrindo depois de 4 pessoas morreram, a personagem não é tão mal escrita desde Lobdell.

    Red X: "Oh. you were so confident we'd come to the end... but this was just the beginning. For you and the rest of your little flock. What's left of it." Oh wait, I think that's Tim Sheridan speaking, not Red X, and he's talking to us the readers, or what little is left of the readership. Fools who thought this would be a satisfying reveal and ending. Mike Cotton, the editor, quit before this series ended, and the associate editor was left to pick up the pieces in #11 and #12. Didn't succeed. One year ago, for some reason, DC turned half of Future State over to this writer, and then this book and the Shazam mini-series. I hope their experiment with TV writers is coming to a close. Sheridan is co-writing Flashpoint Beyond, which more

    I was shocked when I learned that this diverse series, full of inclusive characters, was going to the guillotine. It's been bad from the start, so there's no loss.

    This was probably the most disappointing book coming out of Infinite Frontier for me. I thought it had a ton of potential, but Sheridan just didn't have a very good plan for this run.

    Heard this book is ending at issue 15? So happy, just like almost all issues before this, this one is also just packed with more than it can chew, and a lot of important stuff has been left outside in writer's mind like "OHH the audience can figure out exactly what I am thinking even though I have not written it properly".
